Here are the Asterina starfish I collected tonight. I spent about half an hour to get this many. Aren't they ugly little things? They kinda exploded in number lately. Does anyone need them to feed a harlequin shrimp or two?
My zoas started disappearing lately. I first suspected the typical marauders (a foxface and a tang), but they don't seem to get near my zoas while I am around. I did find Asterina stars climbing on them. They may not be the culprit, but I don't feel like taking a chance. There are still many of them in the tank and they seem to be hungry especially after I started reducing nutrients more aggressively.
